Summer 2010

So far we've had an amazing summer break. Evan went to the GRAND CANYON with Grammy (Craig's mom)and his cousind Dillinger. They went on jeep tours, saw wild fires and went horse back riding! Craig and I were soooooo jealous.
July has been a whirlwind of activity. Gus and I traveled to Virginia to visit my dear friends Hillary and George. While we were there, we went to Jennifer Weiner's book signing (SHE'S MY FAVORITE!!!!!) and Gus actually made her laugh! Go Gus!!!! Check out Hillary's book blog to see what she wrote about it! (JENNIFER WEINER even linked to her page!!!!!) http://bookwormz2010.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/cupcakes-and-friends-and-weiner-oh-my/

Hillary and her fabulous friends helped ring in my 31st birthday (two weeks early)! A blast was had by all.

Currently, I am updating our blog whilst gazing at the Atlantic Ocean. Craig and I drove the boys down to Ormond Beach (near Daytona) for the week.

We will not be using the directions Craig got from Google maps to get us down here. It took um about 16 hours and it was totally the bus route! I kept waiting for a mega phone toting tour guide to start pointing out lighthouses and local haunts! It was TERRIBLE!!!! We were on back roads like Plant Street and Victoria for 100 miles at a time! Grrr.... That's what happens when momma doesn't do the navigating. :)

Mommy of the year award!

Hmmm....just realized I haven't blogged since October. I feel horrible about that! When I don't write down our happenings-I forget them! Lord knows my kids have said and done terrifying, hilarious, silly, messy, news-worthy things since I last updated. Would you believe me if I said I was too busy potty training Gus?

If so-GREAT!!!! Because he is finally accident free day and night!!! Evan is doing well in first grade....so great in fact that he was recently told he scored the highest in reading out of the entire grade! He is so proud of himself!

Here's a few pics to tide you over until I can think of something interesting to write about :)
